THE DUSTY STREE IS.
An lnsufficiency of SprinklinR
Carts In the City.

An lnsufficiency of SprinkIing
Carts I'm the City.
There is much complaint about the
sprinkling of streets in this city. The
dust gets by far the best of the carts and
is reigning triumphant. Many graded
streets never feel the gentle influence of
water except when it pleases the Powers
on high to open the sluice gates little.
The contractor, MIR. Donegan, is paid so
much for each cart, and the Board of
Health says how many carts there shall
be. At present this liberal body has or.
dained that twelve sprinkling carts shall
be kept at work allaying the dust.
There must be something the matter
wi h the Board Of Health. The
water from twelve carts sprinkled on
the streets of Los Angeles lasts as
long and has as much effect as June
frost in a region warmer than this.
There should BIZ from twenty to twenty
five carts constantly at work. 1t will
cost little more, but it will give the
people some relief aud the effect will be
apparent. The Superintendent of Streets
presents weekly payroll, ranging from
$3.50 to 500 per week. Cut him down
little and put the extra money into
sprinkling the streets and ridding the
city of the intolerable dust that now
makes life a burden and ruins clothes,
furniture and everything else. The
Board of Health should take immediate
action on this matter. There are other
things to be considered in city besides
few cases of smallpox.

The Flo v er Festival society

Has announced the intention of having
Festival register at the Exposition
building during the two weeks OF the
flower show. 1t may interest some to
know that the register will be indexed
for the different States, and each indi..
vidual will be requested to register after
his name not the State in which he may
at present reside, but that of which he
is native.
Probably no city of the Union can
boast representatives from more States
than Los Angeles can, if we consider
residents alone; and the influx of stran.
gers who are here upon visits only, will
add largely to that number.
The rivalry between the many States
will doubtless be earnest. The present
intention is to recognize, in some public
way, the State that, on the last day of
the Festival, can show the longest list
upon the register. The trifing charge
of five cents will be asked for the privi-
lege of adding name to the list OF ones
native State.

they called upon the police, and an en-.

two Mexican families resided in the
house, and eight members belonging to
both were afflicted with the smallpox,
most of whom were in the convalescent

for some time, and it was found that
there had been but little communication
with the outside, the method of the
Mexicans being to close the blinds. doors

1t was also reported that Miss Cook.
young lady who has been writing in
the Clerks office had the smallpox. This
is most emphatically denied by medical

among the Mexicans.
